StarTech Flip-Up Privacy Filter for 17-Inch 16:10 Laptop

The StarTech Flip-Up Privacy Filter is a simple and effective screen protector designed to safeguard the sensitive information on your 17-inch widescreen laptop display from onlookers. It utilises advanced microlouver technology to create a privacy shield that blacks out the screen content when viewed from outside a 60° viewing angle (±30° from the centre). This ensures your data remains confidential in open-plan offices, during travel, or in any public space.

A standout feature is its unique flip-up design. This innovative mechanism allows you to easily lift the filter away from the screen, granting seamless access to the touchscreen functionality and enabling effortless content sharing with colleagues, without the need to uninstall the filter entirely. It is designed for compatibility with displays that have raised bezels, ensuring a secure and proper fit.

Beyond privacy, this filter enhances user comfort. It blocks up to 51% of potentially harmful blue light, which is known to contribute to digital eye strain and sleep disruption, making it ideal for long-term use. The filter also maintains a light transmittance of 60%, preserving excellent screen readability and colour clarity for the authorised user directly in front of the display.

Installation is straightforward and non-permanent, with multiple attachment options included to suit your preference. You can choose to use the adhesive strips, slide-mount tabs, or the dedicated flip-up tabs, all of which are supplied in the box. The comprehensive package contains everything you need: the privacy filter itself, flip-up tabs, adhesive strips, a lifting tab, mounting tabs, a protective sleeve, a cleaning cloth, and a user guide.

This privacy filter is an essential accessory for professionals in finance, healthcare, legal fields, or anyone who values data security and visual comfort while working on their 17-inch 16:10 aspect ratio laptop.
